Experience - Compassion - Integrity

“ I look forward to meeting you. I am committed to providing you with the most advanced and least invasive medical therapeutics, laser and surgical approaches to address your concerns. Communication is very important to the success of our relationship. Please text, call or email me directly whenever you have a concern. I want to exceed your expectations.”

“Over the last two decades, I have had the privilege to care for so many wonderful people. I continue to learn every day from my patients and their families, through my teaching, and every minute of my collaborative research with amazing colleagues.”

“I was raised in San Mateo, California in a family with limited means. Graduating from High School at age 16, I enjoyed undergraduate training at UC San Diego, Revelle College. On acceptance to George Washington Medical School in Washington DC, I was awarded a health professional scholarship from the US ARMY.

“My time in the military taught me to honor and respect my patients and their families and also to understand the larger role physicians can play in a community. I remain very committed (through my foundation Let’s Face It Together) to helping the underinsured and their families rebuild their lives – face first.”
